Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 This recipe is from one of my favorite TV chefs, Ina Garten. I've made it 3 or 4 times and it is soooo, soooo good! Hope you enjoy it as much as my husband and I do! Blessings! MtWitchCat Lemon Yogurt Cake & Blueberry Sauce from...the Barefoot Contessa 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt 1 1/3 cups sugar, divided 3 extra-large eggs 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest (2 lemons) 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice For the glaze: 1 cup confectioners' sugar 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8 1/2 by 4 1/4 by 2 1/2- inch loaf pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper. Grease and flour the pan. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt into 1 bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the yogurt, 1 cup sugar, the eggs, lemon zest, and vanilla. Slowly whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. With a rubber spatula, fold the vegetable oil into the batter, making sure it's all incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 50 minutes, or until a cake tester placed in the center of the loaf comes out clean. Meanwhile, cook the 1/3 cup lemon juice and remaining 1/3 cup sugar in a small pan until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is clear. Set aside. When the cake is done, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully place on a baking rack over a sheet pan. While the cake is still warm, pour the lemon-sugar mixture over the cake and allow it to soak in. Cool. For the glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice and pour over the cake. Blueberry Sauce 1 1/2 pints fresh blueberries, rinsed 1 cup vanilla sugar 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice Combine the blueberries and vanilla sugar in a large heavy saucepan. Add 1 cup water and the lemon juice and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the mixture begins to thicken. Remove from the heat and strain through a fine sieve. Cool to room temperature, cover and refrigerate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Hi ! Yes, the cake is placed on a rack over a sheet pan and then you pour the glaze over it and let it soak in. This cake is really good even without the blueberry sauce (or you can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt, or a few sliced strawberries or raspberries alongside)! However it's served it never lasts long around here (LOL)! Blessings!
